Obituary
W. H. G. Foster
The announcement of the death of Mr W. H. G. Foster will be received with widespread regret, for, than mine host of Foster's Hotel there was no more popular man on this coast in the days gone by. For some 50 years Mr. Foster was a resident of Wanganui and ever a worthy citizen, rendering service in many ways to the business and social life of the town. Ably assisted by his wife, he raised the status of the Old Steam Package Hotel (now known as Foster's Hotel) to one of the best known and most popular hostelries in the Dominion. Seven years ago, Mr. J. R. Foster, eldest son of the deceased, took over the hotel, and he is in command to this day. Since 1907 that late Mr Foster had lived a retired life. Although the greater part of his time was occupied with business matters, Mr. W. H. G. Foster was a keen devotee of outdoor sport, and he was an active and successful rifle shot, oarsman, bowler and racing enthusiast, while as an amateur billiard player he had a few compeers in the early days.
The late Mr Foster had been 53 years in the Dominion, having arrived as a lad with his father (who was a soldier) from Bombay, in the troop-steamer Prince Arthur in 1861, and he came to Wanganui in the paddle-steamer Prince Alfred in 1864. Mr Foster whose mother is still alive, leaves a grown up family of four sons (Messrs. J. R., W. H. G. and A. F. Foster, of Wanganui, and P. J. Foster, of Wellington, and four daughters (Mesdames Cocks and W. Martin Innes and Misses Grace and Lulu Foster, all of Wanganui). The sympathy of a large circle of friends will be accorded to Mrs Foster, senr., Mrs W. H. G. Foster, and the bereaved family
